How to use CA for IC auto save

Currently, Fluent autosave will append time step. For IC simulation, it would be nice to have CA appended instead of time step.A scheme file is created to help with that. Explanation on how to use it is on top of the scheme file.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; set_CA.scm;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Scheme file for use with Fluent6.1;;;; Developed By:;; Xiao Hu;; Technical Support Engineer;; Fluent Inc, 220 E Huron St, Ann Arbor MI 48197;; xh@fluent.com;;;; February 24th, 2003;;;; If there are any questions about the use of this scheme;; file please contact your support engineer;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;;; BASIC NOTES:;;; The purpose of this scheme file is to append the;;; Crank Angle (CA) to the case/data file. When autosave data is;;; is turned on and the datafile name is specified as;;; filename-%t.dat Fluent will append the timestep number to;;; the data filename. This scheme will instead append the;;; actual CA to the filename.

;;; USAGE:;;; 1) Open case file;;; 2) File->ReadScheme set_CA.scm;;; 3) File->Write->Autosave;;; Enter the root name of the data file here.;;; E.g. if you want the data file names to be;;; filename-0.001.dat, filename-0.002.dat then enter;;; filename in the autosave panel;;; 4) Make sure that the autosave frequency is set to 0;;; 5) Solve->ExecuteCommands;;; Select one command. Enter the number of timesteps;;; after which you want the data files to be saved;;; under "frequency" and select TimeStep under "every";;; Type the following in the command field including parantheses:;;; (set_CA_as_filename);;; 6) By default, the saved datafile will not be compressed.;;; If you would like the saved datafile to be compressed,;;; modify this schemefile as per the comments about 20;;; lines below here

;;; Datafile name saved will have the following format;;; filename_CA_CAangle.dat or;;; filename_CA_CAangle.dat.gz

;; If you want the data file to be compressed, comment out the following line;; and uncomment the line after that, and vice versa;; (set! datafilename (string-append rootname string2 castring)) (set! datafilename (string-append rootname string2 castring string3))
